Using Biometrics

I have a laptop with built-in finger scanner. Vista is recognizing the
hardware, but it is capable of using it for sign-on? If not yet any add-on
software that will work with Vista?

Thanks,

Esteban

I believe the MS finger scanner has been working with Vista. I don't know
of any others. The built-in scanner on my tablet PC, for example, does not
work with Vista.

Re: Using Biometrics

The vendor will need to provide a base CSP for the authentication.
